Principal AI Research Scientist at Autodesk
I'm a Principal AI Research Scientist at Autodesk Research. I build simulation‑based synthetic data pipelines and apply them to develop models that reason about physics and engineering design. My focus is on the development of systems for multimodal reasoning, 3D shape generation, and assembly design. I earned a Ph.D. in Computational Physics from the University of Toronto and a B.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering from Sharif University of Technology. I teach AI and machine learning at the University of Toronto and York University.
